seems like one big dream turned nightmare,” he replied.
    He still had no idea that Susan had planned on making him a part of her life forever since first meeting him at the restaurant.
    The problem for her is that she thought having sex with him would be enough to make him fall in love with her and when that didn’t work, she thought having his child would make him stay.
    After seeing his son, he knew he had to tell Monica about everything. Although Susan told him she wasn’t going to say anything to his wife, he didn’t trust her. He knew he had to find the right time to tell her.

     
    A few weeks had past and Ken had yet to tell Monica about Susan and his son. Every time he got up the nerve to say something, he would change his mind. He tried not to let his situation with Susan affect his life with Monica and Marci.
    One night he decided he was going to tell Monica everything. When he arrived home Marci was at her grandparents and Monica had fixed a nice dinner. Ken asked her what the special occasion was and she explained that she noticed he had been a little tense and she wanted to do something nice for him. She told him to go take a shower while she continued to cook dinner.
    While stepping into the shower, Ken noticed something on the bathroom sink. It was a home pregnancy test. He picked it up and it read positive. Monica was pregnant with their second child.
    Ken wanted to get excited but with everything going on with Susan, he knew he wouldn’t enjoy this happy moment with his wife. He certainly couldn’t tell her about Susan and the baby that night.
    After showering and getting dressed, Ken walked downstairs and gave his wife a big kiss.
    “Are you excited about the baby?” she asked.
    He smiled and hugged her, “Of course I am, sweetheart.”
    “I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to confirm the test,” she said.
    Monica and Ken had a wonderful night holding each other and making plans for the new baby.
    “We’ll need a bigger house. I think it’s time we move,” he suggested.
    He thought he had found a way out of his situation with Susan without having to tell his wife.
    “That’s a great idea. How soon should we start looking?” she asked.
    “It’s up to you, dear,” replied Ken.
    He did not want it to be so obvious that he wanted to move right away.
    “Okay. I’ll contact a realtor tomorrow after my appointment. If I’m pregnant I want us to be in our new home before the baby arrives,” she said excitedly.
    Monica went to the doctor and found out that she was two months pregnant. She couldn’t wait to call Ken with the news. When he didn’t answer, she decided to surprise him at his office.
    When Monica arrived at his office, his secretary told her that he had left for the afternoon and said he was going home. She was surprised to hear that—he hadn’t told her he was going to leave work early.
    She decided to go home and catch him there. When she arrived, the house was empty. She tried reaching him on his cell phone again. There was still no answer. This time she left a message for him to call her.
    About two hours had passed when Ken finally called Monica back.
    “Hey dear—I just received your message. I was in a meeting. Is everything okay?” he asked.
    “Were you at a meeting at another office?” she asked.
    “No I was at my office; why do you ask?” he questioned.
    “Because I stopped by your office and your secretary said you left for the afternoon and that you were going home.”
    “I forgot to tell her that I wasn’t leaving until after my meeting,” he quickly answered.
    “Okay. Well, I can wait to tell you everything when you get home tonight,” she said.
    “Okay, dear. I’ll see you tonight. I love you.”
    “I love you too,” Monica replied.
    He was really at Susan’s apartment watching the baby because she had a dental appointment and claimed she couldn’t find anyone to keep him.
    When Ken arrived at his house, Monica told him how many
